I think its the wrong decision and should be looked at again, we cant dump one of our best ever batsmen for a stupid reason like that.

A lack of trust is a perfectly acceptable reason for his exclusion. When he insulted the team and the players he forfeited his right to play for England again.

Re: The Cricket thread

England have slumped to a disapointing defeat against New Zealand. The Kiwis were on fire with their batting in the 2nd Innings. The series ends with a 1-1 draw and now the ODI series start up followed by the silly T20 game. Test match series should be at least 3 tests!.

Re: The Cricket thread

Before the Ashes its a pointless T20.

Looking forward to the Ashes though. The 3-0 home win scoreline from 2 years ago masked what was a tight contest, the truth finally showed in the mauling down under. Like before the Aussie team is being savaged by the media down there hoping that it will inspire them. I'm quite impressed by our form going into the Ashes though, too early to make a prediction but I think the urn is ours!
